Dragonfly Capital, a prominent crypto venture capital firm, is raising $500 million for its fourth investment fund, according to Bloomberg.&nbsp;&nbsp;
The fund will focus on early-stage projects in the blockchain space, continuing Dragonfly’s strategy of supporting innovative companies. According to an anonymous source who <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-09-17/crypto-vc-fund-dragonfly-seeking-to-raise-a-500-million-fund?srnd=phx-crypto" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">spoke to Bloomberg</a>, the firm has already secured $250 million and plans to close the fundraising by the first quarter of 2025.
While Dragonfly has not publicly confirmed these details, the firm has been a key player in the digital assets market, with a history of investing in over 100 companies, including notable projects such as Ethena (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/ethena-usde/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">USDE</a>), Cosmos (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/cosmos-hub/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">ATOM</a>), and Monad Labs.

Dragonfly’s recent activity includes <a href="https://crypto.news/dragonfly-incubated-stablecoin-ausd-goes-live-on-sui/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">backing</a> Agora, a stablecoin project that has expanded its offerings to the Sui blockchain. The integration of Agora’s stablecoin, AUSD, into Sui is part of a larger strategy to attract institutional users and developers by offering <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/stablecoin/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">stablecoins</a> that can be used across various blockchain networks.&nbsp;
In May, Dragonfly Capital’s Haseeb Qureshi <a href="https://crypto.news/dragonfly-capital-managing-partner-challenges-vc-token-dumping-theories/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">disputed claims</a> that venture capitalists were dumping crypto and expressed skepticism about common theories explaining the decline in prices of tokens recently listed on Binance, particularly those with high fully diluted valuations and low circulating supply. In a May 19 post on X, Qureshi addressed these concerns and suggested that market sentiment had turned against these “risky new coins” amid broader market downturns and geopolitical tensions in April.
Dragonfly Capital has been actively raising funds for its venture capital efforts in the crypto space for many years, with notable past successes. In 2022, the firm closed its third fund, amassing $650 million to invest in early-stage projects, according to Bloomberg.
